One of our favorite stops around Niagra Falls! Don't miss it. Highly recommend a tour! It's very cool here because it's right on the lake and windy. Beautiful views of the 'Castle' as they call it. Built in 1726 by the French. It is just stunning. They do a lot more things on the weekends like fire the muskets, tours, and local reenactors.

Visited Fort Niagara, State Park, over the Labor day weekend. For a state park I was quite surprised and disappointed over two things that irked me. 1.) The entrance fee, $60.00 for three people.And 2.) In order to have my dog with me, I was told by the lady at the desk “we will allow you to bring in your dog if you sign this waiver”.Unpleasantries aside, the fort buildings and grounds were pretty well kept.The people at the buildings were helpful with questions.Historically important and worth seeing.There is a shop.Playground: YesDog-friendliness: Allowed but had to sign a waiverPicnic area: Yes

This place is fantastic. The staff is very knowledgeable and if they don't know they will look it up for you. The demonstrations were informative and incredibly entertaining. More than worth the price of admission. There is a lot of history here and a lot to see! I wish we had days not hours to spend here.

Beautiful park with lots of sports fields, and a sprawling shoreline on Lake Ontario. You can see the Toronto skylines from across the lake. There's also Old Fort Niagara to Explore. Unfortunately we didn't get there in time and it had closed. Maybe next time.

This park is beautiful and a perfect place for your family to spend the day! There is a wadding pool and a larger pool that is 3.5 feet deep. There are two basic playgrounds. Picnic tables that overlook a gorgeous view of lake Ontario. There are also a few hiking trails.

beautiful and interesting! highly recommend Fort Niagara if you're in the area. we came for the lighthouse and are so happy we made the decision to stop here before ending our road trip. our 3 teen boys especially enjoyed all the demonstrations, exploring the French Castle, and talking with the "fur trader." if you time it right, you can even learn how they fired the cannons.

I visited the Falls in July and the weather was perfect. Went to Canada side at night to watch the illumination and fireworks. Took the Maid of the Mist at noon. Gorgeous and breathtaking view. Definitely a must see!

Gorgeous park with plenty of space to feel freedom. The beach area was great for the whole family. Great for walking, bike riding, throwing ball, or just playing on the playground. Restrooms were available, along with places to tie up your bikes.For an additional fee, there is a pool to play in and tours of the Fort itself. The lake is absolutely stunning and clean. Everything felt safe. Highly recommended.Playground: The playground was is a great spot for middle school and younger.Restrooms: Restrooms were always clean and availablePicnic area: Picnic areas seemed roomy enough for large sized parties.

We visited the pool and loved it. The water was cold though! Wish there was a hot tub. Lots of lounge chairs and stair entry. They allow you to bring im food and drinks. Entry is $3-5 pp (I forget).There is a large picnic area and if you walk down to the water you can swim. Id recommend water shoes though because the beach was rocky.

We've been to Niagara Falls before but last year we had a brochures and we noticed that there was a Fort here. So since last year we decided to come back to see the Fort and it was worth it. The history behind it because we had a guided tour, the buildings the view of that part of the Niagara River and the musket demonstration... however to get up close and view of the Fort you have to pay but it was worth it... you have to pay to get in the park and pay to see the Fort... I just wanted to emphasize that

Great fort! They conduct a live fire demonstration of period correct black powder rifles every hour and they conduct a three day mock battle on 4th of July weekend! The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable.Restrooms: The restrooms were immaculate with plenty of soap and toilet paper available. There was a janitor on site.

I wish I could say this place was better but we didn't get to go inside or see the fort. There were tours going in and out. But the old lighthouse was beautiful and we did get to see a cool gaurd!

Easy to get to. Was mostly self guided, but at the top of the hour, there was a live musket demonstration, which was fun and entertaining.This is one of the oldest forts in North America, so a fun bit of history and also great views of Lake Ontario. There are lots of stairs (some steep), so be prepared if you have young kids or adults that need some extra time....but not too many.
